Business Rates - 2017 List Appeals Warning And 2023 Rating Revaluation

The 2017 Rating List is drawing to an end, and your right to “Check” your Rateable Value will expire on the 31st March 2023. If you haven’t previously taken advice, do so and if it is felt that your Rateable Value was too high, then time is running out to commence the CCA appeal procedure - timeliness is recommended to ensure that you receive an acknowledgement from the Valuation Office before the deadline.

Looking at holiday parks rating in particular, following our discussions with the Valuation Office Agency, agreement has been reached for the 2023 basis, although to date, this is not currently available on line. As a result of the agreement, many parks will have potential for increases mitigated. Some parks Rateable Values will go up either due to good trading or increase in their pitch numbers or re-development, but others may well see their liability reduced.
